Power starts with possession.
What happens when women truly own their work, their wealth, and their worth?
After more than a decade creating spaces for women to learn, build, and lead — from WAH to The Stack World — Sharmadean Reid distils the lessons of collective power into a single, transformative idea: ownership.
Women & Ownership is a bold manifesto and practical roadmap for a new era of empowerment, one rooted not in visibility, but in control. Drawing on research, storytelling, and lived experience, Reid reveals how ownership — of time, money, ideas, and self is the missing link between equality and lasting power.
From founders and investors to artists and activists, she explores how women can claim agency in systems never designed for them, and how collective ownership could redefine the future of business, creativity, and leadership.
Part cultural commentary, part strategy manual, and part rallying cry, Women & Ownership reframes power for a new generation turning self-reliance into solidarity, and ambition into influence.
